Not sure why you think cockerels? They're colored like pullets. You see how light Aber's BRs are? Yes, they have combs and wattles but they aren't excessively developed for 5 weeks. ETA: I have a gold sexlink this time and it's done wonders for my peace of mind. As long as nobody is more developed than the 100% pullet, then I don't worry! Here's 5 weeks (I wish you could see that her wattles are exactly like your chicks'):I'm back, getting those pictures proved to be quite the chore. I am pretty sure I already know all of my BR are cockerels, I went and bought some EE "pullets" today to replace if so. The guy at the store couldn't believe that I pulled 3 from the cockerels, but I'm a newb and full of false hopes. 1) 2) The wattles are dropping , they are 5 weeks. All three of them have this coloring/ pattern And I felt pretty sure about my buff orp being a pullet, but someone put some fear in me. She was supposed to be a pullet, too. She is the family favorite, particularly that of my 4 year old :/ Big Bertha, please don't be Big Bird.
